    What's the most fun a guy can have with $20,000

    Stick it in a well balanced index fund and blow 1-2k a year on DIY out of state hunts. Do it right and it'll never disappear

    6mm /.243 hunting success on Big Game

    I shot 3 animals with the 90 grain ELDX last year and was next to a buddy that shot another. All with .243s Yardages were from 25 to 300 yds. All but one were instant light switches with exits.

    .223 for bear, deer, elk and moose.

    New Durston Tent

    Got it. I've been patiently waiting for some actual photos of the X Dome. That TNT fabric seems really interesting, this is my first time reading about it...seems like all the pros of DCF with none of the cons...how do you beat that?!
